Hi, I am Qila.
On this occasion, I will talk about 5 Common Signs of Alzheimer's Disease that you should to know.
Knowing the early 5 Common Signs of Alzheimer's Disease
can help you receive the best treatment before it becomes serious or even life threatening.
So let's get started with a closer look at what Alzheimer's Disease is first.
Alzheimer's disease is neurological disorder or irreversible and progressive brain disorder,
that destroys brain cell causes memory loss and cognitive decline.
It usually starts slowly and gets progressively worse.
that means there is progressive brain cell death that happens over a course of time.
Plaques and tangles in the brain are considered as two main features of Alzheimer's disease.
Another feature is the loss of connection between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain.
Neurons carry message between different part of brain and from the brain to muscle and organ in the body.
Blocking the message between nerve cells of Alzheimer's disease may disrupt normal thinking and memory.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more than 5 million people in the United States.
Although it's known to affect adults 65 years and older, up to 5 percent of those diagnosed have early onset AD.
This generally means that the person diagnosed is in their 40s or 50s.
And here are 5 Common Signs of Alzheimer's Disease that you should to know;
1. You may have Memory loss.
One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's Disease is memory loss.
The worsened ability to take in and remember newly learned information.
When you are affected by Alzheimer's, there are changes occurring in your brain.
At this point, you may notice that you are forgetting information that you recently learned,
you're repeatedly asking for the same information over and over,
struggling to find the right word in a conversation or you may forget the name of your friend,
forgetting important dates or events, getting lost on a familiar route.
Increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g. reminder notes or electronic devices)
or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
Basically, Alzheimer's-related memory loss will interfere with your day to day functioning.
If you are forgetting appointments, but are remembering later, realizing that you missed it
you're probably suffering from normal age-related changes.
However, it never bad idea to get checked out to put your mind at ease.
2. You may have Language Problems.
The second common sign of Alzheimer Disease is language problems.
As I Mentioned above, Alzheimer is a chronic neurodegenerative disease.
Plaques and tangles in the brain are considered as two main features of Alzheimer's disease.
Blocking the message between nerve cells of Alzheimer's disease may disrupt normal thinking and memory.
If you were once a sociable person who enjoyed good conversation,
you would most certainly notice changes regarding language and conversational skills.
Trouble finding words to describe common objects or feelings, call things by the wrong names, (e.g. "a car a TV")
substitute unusual or incorrect words for familiar words and names (You calling one's husband "him" or "that guy");
invent new words; or use familiar words over and over again.
or struggling with writing are also common signs of Alzheimer's Disease.
They may be unable to find the toothbrush, for example, and instead ask for "that thing for my mouth."
People with Alzheimer's disease also have difficult to follow or join in a conversation.
It is hard to think common word while speaking, sometimes hesitation.
They might stop in the middle of conversation and do not know how to continue
or sometimes they tend to repeat their words.
They make mistake in speech, spelling and writing.
As dementia progresses, a person's language and communication skills diminish.
feel it hard to find the proper word,
This is one of the most serious and common signs of Alzheimer's disease that people need to be careful.
3. You may have Unpredictable behavior.
Unpredictable behavior or Frequent Mood Swings Sudden changes in normal behavior are another common signs of Alzheimer's Disease.
It's typical for individuals to exhibit fear, become suspicious of others, or display signs of depression.
While it's normal to sometimes feel sad or out of sorts, Their mood swings rapidly,
a person with Alzheimer's may suddenly shift from being happy, and content to angry and anxious without any real causes.
They also can become suspicious, confused, fearful, depressed, or anxious.
They can lack of initiatives, they may become passive or unmotivated, sitting in front of television for hour,
more sleeping than usual and not pursuing his or her usual activities.
Moreover, they remove themselves from social activities, work project or sports.
It's possible that someone in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease
may start to withdraw from the social activities that used to make them happiest,
whether that was going to the movies, having lunch with friends, or playing with the grandkids.
you are narrowing your environment to things you feel comfortable with,This reluctance can creep into the lives of Alzheimer's people,
even in very early stages of the disease.
It's not necessarily that you're concerned you'll be forgetful outside of the house though, but rather a growing sense of indifference.
Research suggests that indifference among people with mild cognitive impairment
may predict progression to developing full-blown Alzheimer's disease.
4. You may have Vision changes.
The Fourth Common Sign of Alzheimer's Disease is Vision Changes.
Normal aging affects vision, there's no doubt about that.
With that being said, those who are developing Alzheimer's,
often experience significant changes in vision and spatial recognition.
This will be more than trying to read a book and not being able to see the words.
Individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer's often misjudge distances or struggle to see contrasting colors.
This makes driving extremely dangerous.
An older adult in the early stages of Alzheimer's may consult an eye doctor about vision problems while driving,
only to find out nothing's actually wrong with his or her eye.
This can actually be a visual processing problem because the back of the brain deteriorates faster in specific forms of Alzheimer's.
It's possible these brain changes could also result in changes in smell or hearing in some people with Alzheimer's.
5. You may experience Misplacing things.
This is the next out on the list of the most common sign of Alzheimer's disease.
The last Common Sign of Alzheimer's Disease is Misplacing things.
We are all prone to misplacing a wallet or a key from time to time,
but a person with Alzheimer's disease will put things in unusual places and doing this often,
such as an iron in the freezer, or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl.
They may loss things and unable to go back to find again.
This may occur more frequently over time.
Are you worried that you or someone you know, may have Alzheimer's Disease?
Having some of the signs of Alzheimer's Disease doesn't mean you definitely have the condition,
but you should always contact your doctor, just to make sure.
The earlier you can identify you're having Alzheimer's Disease, the better your chances to get the best treatment.
While it may seem like a small issue, it's never a bad idea to get checked out if there's cause for concern.
It's important to note that developing Alzheimer's disease is not considered a normal part of the aging process.
However, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting 60 to 80 percent of all cases.
Risk factors include age and family history,
but certain lifestyle choices can also play a role in the development of the disease,
such as living a sedentary lifestyle or eating an unhealthy diet.
Plus, some common health issues like diabetes,
high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol levels may also increase the risk.
an early diagnosis allows for treatment to begin immediately that may help slow the progression of the disease.
